Performance evaluation of power management techniques in mobile embedded systems with consideration of medium access mechanisms


Abstract in English

Wireless LAN technology has become the actual standard for wireless Internet access, with increasing availability of access points for those wireless networks as a result of what they offer of high data rates, low roaming costs, and good in-building coverage. This led to a strong trend to the inclusion of Wi-Fi embedded sub-system in all kinds of devices included computing side, and embedded side.The smartphones with the adoption of Wi-Fi technology had to meet two requirements: 1- quality of service support for prioritizing real-time applications. 2- inclusion of power saving functionality to achieve an operating time meets the expectations of users. This paper presents a new power management technique P-PSM, it is a combination of medium access mechanism depends on Contention Window to provide the quality of service, with standard power management technology stdPSM. In addition to evaluate its performance against a set of power management techniques under changing the number of network nodes in order to clarify the expected quantity differences in terms of both quality of service and power saving.
